Description
The main objective of EuroRIs-Net+ is to provide value-added services, through the Network of NCPs for Research Infrastructures. These services will facilitate transnational cooperation of NCPs, promoting the effective implementation of the RI programme, highlighting opportunities offered by Research Infrastructures - at the European and international level - and their impact on e-science. The Network will develop observatory functions for EC and national Research Infrastructures policies, programmes and initiatives, supported by an efficient dialogue scheme for RI NCPs with the RI ecosystem and a sustainable and comprehensive RI Knowledge Repository. Specifically:\tProvision of high level services to our clients (RI scientific communities, industry and public stakeholders) and promotion of best RI NCP practices will be supported through training, peering and helpdesk activities for all RI NCPs, whereas development of systematic partnering activities will increase collaboration among RI stakeholders \tIncreased visibility of the RI programme to all thematic areas of FP7 will empower and support bottom-up approaches for scientific and user communities in the RI programme, facilitated through cooperation with other NCP networks, with direct benefit on focused scientific communities. Moreover, the network will implement targeted dissemination activities to improve visibility of the project's services and the RI programme, contributing to the broader use of Research Infrastructures \tAn interactive platform for communication among the Network, EC, RI policy bodies and RI stakeholders will constructively support policy design, through a dialogue - among RI ecosystem 'actors' - which will facilitate diffusion of RI policy bodies' recommendations to the relevant public authorities and, vice-versa, will permit collection and analysis of integrated data on countries' participation in Research Infrastructures, to support, wherever possible, their integration within the ERA
